Installing your ST1 Series Flex interface model disc drive
Follow installation instructions for media devices provided in your product’s user manual to determine if your Seagate ST1 Series disc drive is compati- ble. See Figure 3 for drive dimensions. Follow all handling precautions/ electrostatic discharge protection suggestions when installing any drive.
Follow the precaution when installing and removing your ST1 Series Flex interface disc drive:
•Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Caution should be exercised when handling any electronic device. Wear an Elec- trostatic Discharge (ESD) ground strap when integrating the flex cable into host systems. Improper handling may cause ESD damage to the ST1 Series disc drive’s electronics.
•Do not bend the cable sharply as this may cause the electrical traces to be broken. See Figure 4.
•When the drive is powered on, do not physically remove the flex cable from the host connector. Power down the system first before removing the drive.
